Can Suno Write Lyrics in Other Languages? We Tested 17
Suno and Udio can sing in many languages, but accuracy varies a lot. We tested 17 — Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi and more. Here is what works and what breaks.
Suno has over 100 million users worldwide. Most of the tutorials, guides, and tips about AI music creation are written in English — but the majority of those 100 million users aren’t native English speakers. If you want to make AI music in Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, or Hindi, the question isn’t whether the tools support it. It’s whether the output is actually good.
We tested AI lyric generation across 17 languages using two different song concepts — a complex, literary song about emotional walls and self-protection, and a warm, simple love song about domestic comfort. We ran both through the AI model powering LyricDraft and judged the results honestly.
Here’s what we found, with the real unedited outputs so you can judge for yourself.
A note on how we tested
Both prompts were given the same song concept in English, with instructions to write naturally in each language — not to translate word-for-word, but to write as a native speaker would, with appropriate idioms and cultural phrasing. The AI was asked to maintain the same emotional concept and rhyme scheme across all languages.
We judged each output on three criteria: does it feel natural rather than translated, does the rhyme scheme hold in that language’s phonology, and does it capture the emotional register of the brief.
The two song concepts
Song 1 — Complex/literary:
A person who has spent years building walls around themselves to avoid being hurt, and the moment they realise those walls have also kept out everything good. The song sits in that bittersweet moment of understanding — not dramatic, just a quiet reckoning. Architecture metaphors — walls, doors, foundations, light through cracks. Melancholic but not self-pitying. Slow indie folk/pop.
Song 2 — Simple/warm:
A simple, warm love song about being completely comfortable with someone — morning coffee, familiar routines, the sound of them moving around in another room. Warm, gentle, deeply content. Not grand gestures — small moments.
The honest result
AI lyric generation in other languages is better than you’d expect — and unevenly good in ways that are worth understanding before you rely on it.
For seven languages the output is strong enough to use with minimal or no editing. For eight more it’s usable with a native speaker review. For two it’s structurally correct but feels noticeably translated.
Tier 1 — Strong: use with confidence
These languages produced natural, idiomatic output that reads like a native writer rather than a translation. Rhyme schemes hold, colloquialisms are appropriate, and the emotional register matches the brief.
🇪🇸 Spanish
¿Se pueden escribir letras de canciones en español con IA? Sí — y los resultados son mejores de lo que esperabas.
Spanish is one of the strongest non-English languages for AI lyric generation. The output feels genuinely idiomatic, the rhyme schemes work naturally in Spanish phonology, and the emotional register holds across both simple and complex concepts.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Verso 1]
Cemento y ladrillo fui poniendo año tras año,
cada grieta sellada con silencio y desengaño.
Hoy un rayo de luz se cuela por el muro
y descubro que el frío es lo único seguro.
[Coro]
Dejé fuera la lluvia, pero también el sol.
Ahora piso las sombras que yo misma pinté.
No hay llave que abra este dolor,
solo el eco de lo que no fue.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Verso 1]
Huelo el café mientras te oigo despertar,
tus pasos en la cocina me hacen suspirar.
La rutina de la mañana sin prisa ni reloj,
tú lees el diario, yo te miro en mi rincón.
[Coro]
No hace falta hablar, solo estar,
tu silencio me sabe a hogar.
Cada día es igual, pero nuevo al final,
contigo el tiempo no se va.
Verdict: Use directly. Minimal editing needed.
🇫🇷 French
Peut-on écrire des paroles de chansons en français avec l’IA ? Oui — et les résultats sont solides.
French output is consistently strong — grammatically correct, natural phrasing, appropriate register for the concept.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Couplet 1]
J'ai monté des murs de pierre et de silence,
chaque brique scellée d'une vieille méfiance.
La lumière traverse une fissure discrète —
je vois que mes remparts sont une prison secrète.
[Refrain]
J'ai gardé le froid, j'ai perdu la chaleur.
Le prix de la paix, c'est l'absence du cœur.
Rien ne traverse ces murs que j'ai bâtis,
sauf le bruit de mes pas dans l'oubli.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Couplet 1]
Le grille-pain qui saute, ton rire dans l'air,
tu cherches tes clés sans aucun mystère.
Je te connais par cœur, tes gestes familiers,
dans cette cuisine, le monde peut bien s'arrêter.
[Refrain]
C'est juste toi, c'est juste moi,
une douceur qui n'a pas de loi.
Pas besoin de mots, juste ton pas,
et le bruit du café qui chante bas.
Verdict: Use directly. French native speakers may want to refine a line or two for personal style but the output is solid.
🇧🇷 Portuguese (Brazilian)
Dá para escrever letras de música em português com IA? Sim — e os resultados são muito bons.
Brazilian Portuguese is strong across both concepts. The output captures the warmth and musicality of Brazilian Portuguese naturally — not formal European Portuguese, but the colloquial register that works for popular music.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Verso 1]
Eu ergui paredes com cal e com cuidado,
cada bloco encaixado com medo disfarçado.
Agora a luz se infiltra por uma fresta fina
e eu vejo que a muralha também é uma ruína.
[Refrão]
Bloqueei a dor, mas tranquei o que é bonito.
O que sobra é o silêncio, o chão, o grito não dito.
Não tem janela, não tem porta, só o peso do concreto.
Descobri que proteger é também um projeto incompleto.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Verso 1]
O café passando, você vem me beijar,
a xícara quente, o pão pra torrar.
Eu sei o teu jeito, teu ritmo sem pressa,
a casa inteira vira uma promessa.
[Refrão]
Te ter por perto é tão normal,
mas cada instante é festival.
Nada de novo, mas tudo é bom,
no som dos teus passos, meu tom.
Verdict: Use directly. “Pão pra torrar” is exactly the domestic detail that makes a love song feel real.
🇮🇹 Italian
Italian output is consistently good — the language’s natural musicality means lyrics scan well without needing adjustment. Rhyme scheme adherence is strong.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Verso 1]
Ho costruito muri con mattoni di paura,
ogni giunta sigillata con la stessa amarezza.
Ora un filo di luce scivola tra le crepe
e capisco che la fortezza è una trappola di certezze.
[Ritornello]
Ho tenuto fuori il vento e anche l'odore del mare.
Il prezzo di non soffrire è non poter più sognare.
Sola dentro queste mura che io stessa ho innalzato,
scopro che ogni difesa è un addio all'amato.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Verso 1]
Il rumore della macchina del caffè,
tu che sbatti gli occhi e sorridi a me.
I gesti di sempre, la tua solita via,
questa casa canta una melodia.
[Ritornello]
Siamo noi, senza farci caso,
un amore che non ha bisogno del vaso.
La tua presenza è la mia quiete,
le ore passano dolci e discrete.
Verdict: Use directly. Italian speakers may prefer to adjust for regional dialect or personal style.
🇨🇳 Mandarin Chinese (Simplified)
普通话歌词创作的AI输出令人印象深刻——结果自然流畅,不像翻译自英文,而更像母语创作。
Mandarin is one of the strongest outputs in the entire test. The output feels native to Chinese musical tradition rather than translated English pop phrasing.
Song 1 — Complex:
[第一段]
我砌起高墙,用砖石和沉默,
每道裂缝用防备封得彻底。
如今一束光从缝隙渗入,
才发现堡垒里只剩我自己。
[副歌]
挡住了风雨,也挡住了阳光。
保护了伤口,却失去了方向。
没有门,没有窗,只有这墙,
这代价,比想象更长。
Song 2 — Simple:
[第一段]
清晨的咖啡香飘进房间,
你轻轻的脚步声像一首诗篇。
我知道你翻报纸的节奏,
在厨房里忙碌的每个瞬间。
[副歌]
不需要说话,只要你在,
平凡的日子也变得可爱。
你的安静是我的港湾,
每一天都这样简单温暖。
Verdict: Use directly. One of the strongest outputs in the test.
🇯🇵 Japanese
日本語の歌詞生成は非常に優れています。文法が正確で、感情の表現も自然です。
Japanese output is strong — grammatically correct, appropriate emotional register, natural phrasing for the song type.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Aメロ]
煉瓦と沈黙で壁を積み上げて、
隙間はすべて疑いで埋めた。
今、亀裂から光が差し込んで、
気づく、この砦は私を閉じ込めただけだと。
[サビ]
雨は防げた、だが陽も遮った。
守った代償は、優しさを失ったこと。
ドアも窓もない、ただ冷たい壁。
その向こうに、もう誰もいない。
Song 2 — Simple:
[Aメロ]
朝のコーヒーが沸く音、
君の足音、窓辺の光。
いつもの場所で、いつもの仕草、
心がゆっくりとほどける朝。
[サビ]
言葉はいらない、ただそばにいて、
君の呼吸が家になる。
変わらない日々が愛おしくて、
この温もりがすべてなんだ。
Verdict: Use directly. Japanese native speakers may prefer to adjust particle choice in places but the output is a strong starting point.
🇰🇷 Korean
한국어 가사 생성 결과는 매우 인상적입니다. 자연스러운 표현과 감정 전달이 뛰어납니다.
Korean surprised us — it’s consistently one of the strongest outputs in the test. The emotional phrasing is appropriate for contemporary Korean pop sensibilities.
Song 1 — Complex:
[1절]
벽돌과 침묵으로 쌓아 올린 담,
틈마다 불신으로 메운 채.
이제 금 사이로 빛이 스며들면,
알게 돼, 이 성은 나를 가둔 감옥일 뿐인 걸.
[후렴]
비는 막았지만 햇살도 가렸어.
아픔을 피한 대가, 따스함을 잃었어.
문도 창문도 없는 차가운 벽,
그 너머엔 아무도 없어.
Song 2 — Simple:
[1절]
아침 커피 향기, 네 발소리
익숙한 그 동작, 서로의 일상이
따뜻하게 스며드는 이 공간
말하지 않아도 아는 너와 나
[후렴]
그냥 네가 곁에 있는 것만으로
하루가 참 편안해져
작은 습관, 익숙한 손길
집처럼 느껴져 너의 온기
Verdict: Use directly. Strong output for K-pop adjacent styles in particular.
Tier 2 — Good with a light review
Structurally sound and emotionally coherent. Occasionally formal-sounding or slightly stiff in phrasing. A native speaker would likely want to adjust a line or two — but the output is a solid working draft.
🇩🇪 German
KI kann deutsche Songtexte schreiben — das Ergebnis ist solide, klingt aber gelegentlich etwas förmlich.
German is the weakest of the Tier 1 candidates — some rhymes feel slightly forced and the phrasing occasionally reads as more formal than contemporary German pop would use.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Strophe 1]
Ich baute Mauern aus Beton und Schweigen,
jede Fuge mit Misstrauen verfugt.
Nun dringt ein Lichtstrahl durch die Risse,
zeigt mir, dass die Festung mich selbst betrügt.
[Refrain]
Draußen blieb der Regen, aber auch der Sommerwind.
Was ich bewachte, ist längst verrinnt.
Keine Tür, kein Fenster, nur der kalte Stein.
Schutz zu suchen hieß, nie mehr zu sein.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Strophe 1]
Die Kaffeemaschine zischt, du gähnst noch halb,
ich kenn deinen Rhythmus, den Morgen im Katalog.
Du suchst deine Brille, ich such deine Hand,
der Alltag legt sich wie ein weiches Band.
[Refrain]
Kein großes Wort, kein lauter Ton,
nur dein Atem, mein Anker schon.
Wir sind das Haus, das nie vergeht,
wo jeder Tag im Gleichklang steht.
Verdict: Good starting point. German native speakers should review for naturalness.
🇳🇱 Dutch
AI kan Nederlandse songteksten schrijven — de output is grammaticaal correct en emotioneel coherent, maar klinkt soms wat formeel.
Dutch output is grammatically solid and emotionally coherent. Phrasing is occasionally more formal than conversational Dutch song lyrics would typically be.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Couplet 1]
Ik bouwde muren van steen en stil verdriet,
elke vocht dicht met wantrouwen en gewoonte.
Nu sijpelt een lichtstraal door een kier,
en zie ik: de vesting is eenzaamheid in volle toon.
[Refrein]
Ik hield de regen buiten, maar ook de wind.
De prijs van veiligheid is de warmte die ik mis.
Geen deur, geen raam, alleen de kille muur.
Ontdekken dat beschermen ook verliezen is.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Couplet 1]
De geur van koffie, jouw ochtendritueel,
je zoekt je sokken, ik pak mijn steevast deel.
Je rommelt in de keuken, ik hoor je neuriën,
het geluid van thuis, dat ik niet wil verliezen.
[Refrein]
Jij en ik, geen woorden nodig,
de stilte is van ons.
Elke dag hetzelfde lied,
maar nooit gewoon je komst.
Verdict: Use as a working draft. Native review recommended.
🇵🇱 Polish
AI potrafi pisać polskie teksty piosenek — wyniki są solidne, choć rymy bywają czasem nieco wymuszone.
Polish output handles the complex rhyme demands of the language reasonably well. Some lines feel slightly forced phonetically.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Zwrotka 1]
Z cegieł milczenia i zaprawy lęku
wznosiłem mury rok po roku.
Dziś promień słońca przez szczelinę wpada —
widzę, że twierdza to moja zagłada.
[Refren]
Zatrzymałem deszcz, ale i ciepło dnia.
Cena ochrony — cisza, co pustką gra.
Żadnych drzwi, żadnych okien, tylko zimny głaz.
Zrozumieć, że schronić się znaczy stracić czas.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Zwrotka 1]
Zapach kawy, twoje kroki w korytarzu,
wiem, że zaraz usiądziesz przy swym tarzu.
Codzienność ma swój rytm, znajomy, cichy,
a ty w nią wplatasz najprostsze wierszyki.
[Refren]
Nie trzeba mówić, wystarczy być,
twój oddech umie ciszę kryć.
Te same gesty, ten sam dom,
a jednak nigdy nie jest pusty, nie jest strom.
Verdict: Solid working draft. Polish native speakers will likely want to smooth a few lines.
🇸🇪 Swedish
AI kan skriva svenska sångtexter — resultatet är grammatiskt korrekt men känns ibland lite stelt i tonen.
Swedish is clean and grammatically correct. The output occasionally feels slightly stiff — more literary than the warm, conversational register Swedish pop typically uses.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Vers 1]
Jag byggde murar av tegel och tystnad,
varje fog fylld med misstro och år.
Nu ett ljusstrå tränger genom sprickan —
jag ser att fästet är en fälla, inget värn.
[Refräng]
Jag höll ute regnet men också solen.
Priset för skydd är att vara ensam i stolen.
Ingen dörr, inget fönster, bara kalla stenen.
Upptäckten: att skydda sig är att förlora allt det rena.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Vers 1]
Kaffet doftar, du vaknar med ett leende,
dina steg i köket – ett mönster jag känner.
Du letar efter glasögonen, jag skrattar tyst,
det här är vardagen, det bästa jag nyst.
[Refräng]
Inga stora ord, bara du och jag,
din närvaro är mitt lugna drag.
Allt är som förut, men inget är trist,
i ditt rum är jag alltid hemma, alltid list.
Verdict: Good starting point. Swedish native speakers should review for tone.
🇷🇺 Russian
ИИ может писать тексты песен на русском языке — результаты грамматически верны и передают нужное настроение.
Russian output is strong grammatically and captures emotional register well. Natural phrasing in Russian is harder to achieve than in the Romance languages but the output is a solid working draft.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Куплет 1]
Я строил стены из кирпича и молчания,
каждый шов заливал недоверием и ожиданием.
Теперь луч света пробивается в трещину —
и я вижу, что крепость — моя же тюрьма.
[Припев]
Я заслонил дождь, но и солнце ушло.
Цена защиты — тепло, что не нашлось.
Ни двери, ни окна, только холодный камень.
Понять, что укрыться — значит потерять всё.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Куплет 1]
Запах кофе, твои шаги на полу,
ты ищешь кружку и улыбаешься в мгле.
Знаю твои привычки, твой утренний строй,
эта кухня стала нашей тихой стеной.
[Припев]
Не надо слов, просто быть рядом,
твой тихий звук — мой главный лад.
Каждый день как вчера, но не скучно ничуть,
с тобой я нахожу свой путь.
Verdict: Use as a starting point. Native review recommended.
🇸🇦 Arabic
يمكن للذكاء الاصطناعي كتابة كلمات أغانٍ باللغة العربية — النتائج أفضل مما تتوقع، وإن كانت تميل إلى الفصحى.
Arabic output is better than expected. The rhyme structure works in Arabic phonology and the emotional register is appropriate. The output defaults to Modern Standard Arabic rather than any specific regional dialect.
Song 1 — Complex:
[مقطع 1]
بنيت جدراناً من حجر وصمت،
كل صدع سدّدته بالشك والعهد.
اليوم ضوء يتسلل من شقٍّ ضيق،
أرى أن الحصن سجن، وليس طريق.
[لازمة]
منعت المطر، لكن منعت الشمس أيضاً.
ثمن الأمان فقدان الدفء أبداً.
لا باب، لا نافذة، إلا جدار بارد.
أدركت أن الحماية ثمَنها القلب المارد.
Song 2 — Simple:
[مقطع 1]
رائحة القهوة، خطواتك على البلاط
أعرف روتينك الصباحي وكل انطلاق
تفتح الستار، تبحث عن فناجينك
بيتنا الصغير يملؤه دفء سنينك
[لازمة]
لا نحتاج كلام، فقط وجودك معي
صوتك الهادئ مثل أغنية في الضحى
كل يوم يشبه الأمس لكنه جديد
لأن فيك أجد معنى البيت والهدى
Verdict: Solid for Modern Standard Arabic. May need dialect adjustment for regional specificity.
🇮🇳 Hindi
AI हिंदी में गाने के बोल लिख सकता है — नतीजे स्वाभाविक और भावनात्मक रूप से सटीक हैं।
Hindi output is warm and natural-feeling. Occasional lines feel slightly formal but the overall output is usable.
Song 1 — Complex:
[पहला पद]
मैंने दीवारें खड़ी कीं ईंट और चुप्पी से,
हर दरार को भरा शक और सब्र से।
आज एक किरण दरार से झाँकती है —
पता चला, यह किला मुझे ही कैद करती है।
[मुखड़ा]
बारिश को रोका, धूप को भी खो दिया।
सुरक्षा की कीमत, गर्मजोशी को खो दिया।
न दरवाज़ा, न खिड़की, बस ठंडी दीवार।
समझ आया कि बचाना भी एक हार।
Song 2 — Simple:
[पहला पद]
सुबह की कॉफ़ी, तुम्हारे क़दमों की आहट
हर दिन की ये रस्में, तुम्हारी ही बात
तुम अख़बार पढ़ते, मैं चुपचाप देखूँ
इस घर में तुम हो तो सब कुछ है ठीक
[मुखड़ा]
बोलने की ज़रूरत नहीं, बस तुम पास हो
तेरी ख़ामोशी घर जैसी लगती है
हर दिन एक जैसा, फिर भी नया
तेरे साथ में वक़्त ठहर जाता है
Verdict: Good working draft. Native review recommended for colloquial register.
🇹🇷 Turkish
Yapay zeka Türkçe şarkı sözü yazabilir — sonuçlar doğal ve dilbilgisel açıdan doğrudur.
Turkish output is clean and natural-sounding. The models handle Turkish’s complex agglutinative structure well.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Kıta 1]
Tuğla ve sessizlikten duvarlar ördüm,
her çatlağı güvensizlikle doldurdum.
Şimdi bir ışık hüzmesi sızıyor aralıktan —
anlıyorum: kale aslında bir tuzak, bir yalnızlık han.
[Nakarat]
Yağmuru tuttum ama güneşi de engelledim.
Korumanın bedeli sıcaklığı kaybetmekmiş.
Ne kapı, ne pencere, sadece soğuk taş.
Keşfetmek: korumak, her şeyi yok etmekmiş.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Kıta 1]
Kahve kokusu, mutfakta ayak sesin,
bilirim her sabah aynı düzenin.
Gözlüğünü arar, gülümsersin kendine,
bu evin huzuru sende gizli bende.
[Nakarat]
Sadece varlığın yeter, laf kalabalık değil,
sesin evimin en eski şarkısı.
Her gün aynı, ama hiç sıkıcı değil,
seninle her an bir başka armağanı.
Verdict: Solid starting point. Native review recommended.
Tier 3 — Structurally correct, needs more editing
Grammatically correct and structurally coherent but may feel noticeably translated rather than native. Regional rhythm and natural phrasing are harder to achieve. Use as a starting point but expect to do meaningful editing.
🇻🇳 Vietnamese
AI có thể viết lời bài hát tiếng Việt — nhưng do đặc điểm thanh điệu của tiếng Việt, kết quả cần được chỉnh sửa nhiều hơn.
Vietnamese is the hardest language in the test. The tonal nature of Vietnamese means that lyric rhythm is deeply connected to tone — a word can have six different meanings depending on its tone, which affects both meaning and musicality simultaneously.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Lời 1]
Tôi xây tường bằng gạch và im lặng,
mỗi khe hở lấp đầy bằng nghi ngờ và năm tháng.
Hôm nay một tia sáng len qua vết nứt —
tôi thấy pháo đài là nhà tù, không phải chốn dung thân.
[Điệp khúc]
Chắn được mưa, nhưng cũng che mất nắng.
Cái giá của che chở là hơi ấm biến tan.
Không cửa, không sổ, chỉ bức tường lạnh lẽo.
Hiểu ra rằng bảo vệ là mất tất cả những gì đẹp đẽ.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Lời 1]
Mùi cà phê sáng, tiếng bước chân em quen,
anh biết em đang tìm chiếc cốc bên bếp.
Ngày nào cũng vậy, nhẹ nhàng và chậm rãi,
căn nhà nhỏ bỗng ấm áp lạ thường.
[Điệp khúc]
Không cần nói nhiều, chỉ cần em ở đây,
hơi ấm quen thuộc như vòng tay thường ngày.
Ngày hôm qua giống hôm nay mà sao lạ,
vì có em, mọi thứ đều là bài ca.
Verdict: Use as a structural starting point. Vietnamese native speakers should expect significant editing for tonal rhythm.
🇬🇷 Greek
Η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη μπορεί να γράψει στίχους τραγουδιών στα ελληνικά — το αποτέλεσμα είναι γραμματικά σωστό αλλά μερικές φορές ακούγεται λίγο επίσημο.
Greek output is grammatically correct and captures the emotional content. The phrasing occasionally feels slightly translated — closer to formal written Greek than the colloquial register of contemporary Greek pop.
Song 1 — Complex:
[Στροφή 1]
Έχτισα τοίχους από τούβλα και σιωπή,
κάθε ρωγμή γέμισα με δυσπιστία και πληγή.
Τώρα μια αχτίδα μπαίνει από μια σχισμή —
βλέπω πως το φρούριο είναι φυλακή, όχι προστασία.
[Ρεφρέν]
Κράτησα έξω τη βροχή, αλλά και τον ήλιο.
Το τίμημα της ασφάλειας είναι η ζεστασιά που χάθηκε.
Καμία πόρτα, κανένα παράθυρο, μόνο κρύα πέτρα.
Ανακάλυψα ότι το να προστατεύω σημαίνει να χάνω ό,τι μέτρα.
Song 2 — Simple:
[Στροφή 1]
Η μυρωδιά του καφέ, τα βήματά σου ξανά,
ξέρω κάθε σου συνήθεια, κάθε σου στιγμή απλή.
Ψάχνεις το φλιτζάνι, γελάς μόνη σου λίγο,
το σπίτι μας γεμίζει από μια ζεστή γαλήνη.
[Ρεφρέν]
Δεν χρειάζονται λόγια, μόνο η παρουσία σου,
η σιωπή σου μοιάζει με γνώριμο τραγούδι.
Κάθε μέρα ίδια, μα ποτέ βαρετή,
μαζί σου ο χρόνος γίνεται ζωή.
Verdict: Solid structural draft. Greek native speakers should review and naturalise the phrasing.
Practical tips for non-English lyrics in Suno
Regardless of which language you’re writing in, a few things consistently improve results:
Keep the style prompt in English. Suno’s style box expects English regardless of the lyric language. Describe your genre, tempo, and instrumentation in English even if the lyrics are in another language.
Keep line length consistent. The 6-12 syllable guideline applies across languages. Suno’s vocal rendering works best with lines of consistent length regardless of the language.
Specify the language explicitly in your concept. If you’re using LyricDraft, choose your language from the dropdown selector. The model is specifically prompted to write as a native speaker rather than translating.
Use the paste-your-lyrics route in LyricTime. When syncing non-English lyrics in LyricTime, pasting your lyrics rather than relying on auto-transcription gives significantly better results — the sync file will require minimal or no editing.
The bottom line
AI lyric generation in other languages works — and for seven languages it works well enough to use directly. For most others it’s a strong working draft that a native speaker can refine rather than a blank page they have to fill.
The honest caveat: AI models are trained predominantly on English data, and that shows. The further a language is from English in structure and training data representation, the more the output may need a native speaker’s touch. But for the majority of the world’s most widely spoken languages, LyricDraft produces lyrics that are a genuine starting point rather than a curiosity.
If your language isn’t listed here or you want to test a specific style before committing — your first two songs on LyricDraft are free, in any language.
